Direct X 10/11 Question - Answer (Translated)

[SilvertearRen]

This was posted in response to asking about support for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11, specifically. When taking into consideration the performance of the PlayStation 3 version, we currently have no plans of supporting DirectX 10/11. However, in the event that large changes or alterations take place to the graphics, or if DirectX 10/DirectX 11 continue to grow in popularity, we will begin to support them.

For your information, Square Enix, there are MMOs that already support DirectX 11 and they have a much lower "visual quality" standard than FFXIV does. Get your sh*t straight - there are absolutely no excuses for skipping out on DirectX 11 when the majority of PC video cards support it, with nearly every major Western game developer making the switch to full DirectX 11 support on their recent and upcoming titles.
